In the places he travels and sees in Anatolia, he finds traditional flavors, forgotten recipes, and records them with his books. Incandescent, his curiosity and insistence, ‘I want Anatolian cuisine to be put where it really deserves.
That’s why all my efforts,’… our Spanish travel buddy he explains.
Finally, he added an atlas to his books. Incandescent, who visited many regions of Anatolia, prepared atlasa from the routes he created, ‘Atlas of Gastronomy of Turkey’ called. “This guide will teach people to know their own city,” he says.
■ When did you start your journey? Is your journey still ongoing?
I started my journey 25 years ago, regularly continuing to travel monthly or weekly. If I’m lucky, I’ll keep traveling for another 50 years. I’m County-based now. In Turkey, the issue does not end. Village by Village, district by District, neighborhood by neighborhood, you don’t end up again. In Turkey, it is not possible to visit any province in a year. I’ve toured all the provinces, but I’m in 30 percent of Turkey to explore traditional regions. I have to travel for at least another 50 years to end it.

ANATOLIAN CUISINE IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF
■ Where did you come to think of creating a map of the places you go? How did you decide that?
There’s food in the middle of life. While food was eaten in Anatolia, there were no settlements in the rest of the world. Wheat, rice and all other products were brought all over the world from Anatolia. The idea of a map, actually, I’ve been drawing maps for 15 years. I have to draw it to understand something. So I explained it in my book by drawing a map for those who read it.
■ How do you feel when you encounter unfamiliar tastes?
Every place I went, I felt like it was a place I always knew. I picked up recipes from places I went and wrote them down. I have many recipe books. So I wanted to do this last book in atlas form. I told People where they should eat or drink when they go to a place in Turkey. Not only this, but is not limited to. I also drew historical artifacts that they would see in places I visited.

TURKEY CHAMPIONS IN 3 SUBJECTS
■ Is Anatolian cuisine adequate?
There are very few people who own Anatolian cuisine. I want Anatolian cuisine to be put where it really deserves to be. So all my efforts. I tried to explain this in 28 books because I was very interested in this point. There are 3 issues in which Turkey is the champion of champions; their culture, food products and food. In order for local tastes not to disappear, the perspective needs to change. When I go to a very old Meatball Shop, I go knowing how precious it is. I’m not walking around saying,’ this place is a little overfoot, I didn’t find his desk hygienic.’ The priority of your expectations needs to be the continuation of the culture. I’m not interested in a place that doesn’t cook traditional. I’m trying to find the most traditional and I’m trying to support it.
